Unsettling Messages from Random Numbers on iPhone
Starting about a week or two ago, I've been getting very weird and unsettling messages from numbers in Idaho, Michigan, and Colorado.
It started with them just saying "Hello" "Hey" or "Hi" but recently it's gotten worse and they've been saying peculiar things to me. Just so you know, I haven't replied to any of these, but they continue. Most of the things these numbers have been saying are along the lines of "I love you, my sexy girl" and it's so odd. I'll provide pictures below of the messages, but I want to know if these are just bots or spammers because I've also gotten spammed with messages. Just last night, a number from Idaho spammed me with random letters after saying "Hello" "Heyyy" and "Hoiii." Also, a few months ago I was experiencing Facetime calls from random numbers, being added into random groups with 30+ random numbers so much to the point that I switched off Facetime. I want to know how to get this to stop, what these numbers want, and why it's continuing even after I haven't replied and blocked them. If you know, please tell me.
